stephen colbert is testifying this hour on capitol hill, appearing before a house subcommittee on the hot button issue of immigration, that move not sitting well with many, especially after reports that colbert would testify in character, the character he uses on his nightly show. judge andrew napolitano has issues with this, host of fox's "freedom watch". how you doing. colbert got involved in this because he did a deal where he went to upstate new york and worked in a field and -- >> right. i commend for that and all the legitimate things he does to promote his show. let me also say that i am a friend of his and i have been on the show with him. my issue is not with him, it's with the congress. congress should take its work seriously, to have somebody testify under oath in character is not serious. it doesn't respect congress' work and doesn't respect the oath and it makes you think doesn't the congress have anything more important to do. bill: there are a lot of issues out there, point taken. i don't really care what colbert does, but what is laughlin thinking? she's the chairwoman
